Fake names. Take your cash and run. Not sure how much easier it would be to track down than others who write bad checks and such. -- nm - pmb Aug 10, 13:23 3
- would have to be very elaborate. you would need solid fake credentials to beat the bank(s) and AT&T and Apple - decline Aug 10, 13:25
- but you're still depositing it at least once through your iPhone, which presumably has to be connected to a real bank account and a real person. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 13:24 1
  - Many check frauds involve simply moving faster than the system rather than out thinking it. It takes time for the multiple checks to hit the account - pmb Aug 10, 13:30
